This may be the wrong question to ask but, what's the best way to replicate a large load on an asp.net web application? Is there an easy way to simulate many requests on particular pages? Or is the best thing to use a profiler to track a single request and then work out from that if the performance is ok?

It would be good to know how well a web app works with a server spec. I'd like to be able to simulate heavy traffic on my testing server so that I can work out if the production server is good enough (specifically with iis/asp.net not db performance).
